This week, Danielle enjoyed a "taster day" at Cantray bridge College on the outskirts of Inverness.
She joined the Horticultural department and helped them with jobs in the greenhouse. Here, sowing sweet pea seeds...
...and here she potted on some californian poppies. She also had the chance to illustrate her art skills by writing plant labels for the group and decorating them with mini pictures! The instructor Gillian was friendly and welcoming; we hope to build stronger ties in future with already a planned "plant swap" and garden visits.
Meanwhile in the garden this week, we had to cancel our activities on Wednesday as the wind was howling!! Tree branches above our shed can present a risk in gale force winds so we erred on the side of caution. On Thursday, we welcomed a new member - Kyle who has been checking out the blog and is keen to join us. He and Connorhan filled this trough with soil and planted bulbs...
...it is now waiting for the flowers at the top of the picture to be planted.
Also, we started a major "shed clean-up". We postponed our Christmas dinner until next week as Danielle and Sara were keen to join in with the canteen Christmas dinner this week! The shed still looks messy, but it is a "work in progress". Watch this space...this time next week the table will be laid for dinner and our decorations will be up!
